Wait no more.

This video trailer from YouTube user C-SPIT gives us a three-minute glimpse into the David Lynch "Star Wars" universe, complete with Lynch's surreal, dream-like cinematic style. It's actually oddly fitting for some of the dark scenes in "Return of the Jedi," though we're thankful he ultimately turned the project down.

But man, just imagine the fun Lynch could have had with a character like Jar Jar Binks in Episode I.
